Critics Choice TV Awards 2014

[rockNrollaDIM]

I've highlited my choices in red (excepting the TV/Miniseries categories becuase I haven't seen any of them).

 

Thoughts:

-OK, I'm glad Shameless is finally getting some recognition - Emmy Rossum is great, but Jeremy Allen White over Noel Fisher?? That's a joke! Noel Fisher deserves an Emmy nom for his work this season and I hope this doesn't derail him

-Despite my love for Shameless, Veep is a real comedy and JLD and Tony Hale > Rossum and White

-Nice to see some attention for The Americans and Matthew Rhys, but Cranston is still undeniable

-I'm saying the chick from Orphan Black for actress, that's a tough feat to pull off and she does it convincingly

-Surprised to see some love for Sons of Anarchy, but Maggie Siff and Walton Giggins both deserve it

4 big noms for The Americans. Great! Same for The Good Wife!

 

But seriously, the only acting nod for Game of Thrones is a guest actor nod for Diana Rigg? Replace her with Pedro Pascal easily. And they're ignoring the Dinklage domination of the past two episodes? You could make a decent case for Lena Headey for Supporting Actress as well.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Shit you're right, I just noticed now Keri Russell and Annette Mahendru also got noms - good for them.

 

Would like to see Lena Headey and Pedro Pascal get some recognition too.

[darkelf]

No Rick and Morty

 

Also, how come Modern Family is completely ignored? I mean, it's not like it deserves anything anymore, but they did nominate TBBT in many categories

[Jake Gittes]

Total absence of Mad Men and Community as well. I know the latter wasn't quite as great this year as it was a few years ago, but not even a guest nod to Jonathan Banks?

[CoolioD1]

Alison Tolman getting a supporting nomination for fargo is as stupid as when William H. Macy got a supporting nomination for the original fargo.

[CoolioD1]

No Rick and Morty

 

 

15 years since it stopped being good and voters of these things are still lazily voting for the simpsons. most impressive.
